A committee of MSPs is challenging what it says it the marginalisation of fathers in society.
And a report from the Equal Opportunities Committee is urging the NHS in Scotland to work with councils and others groups to end the presumtion that 'parent' means mother.

Margaret McCulloch is the committee convener:
